Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wheel protector for the front wheel of a bicycle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a Radtener of the aforementioned kind is from the DE 203 07 465 U1 known.
  • the front wheel protector described therein includes clamping means that can be inserted and spread inside a front fork. These clamping means are connectable to a front splash guard having a front toroidal portion and a rear L-shaped portion. At the rear end of the L-shaped portion of a multi-segment rear splash guard is attached.
  • the connection of the two splashguards allows several different angles between the splashguards.
  • the segments of the second splash guard are connected to each other, so that the angles which include the individual segments of the rear splash guard with the horizontal, can be changed in steps.
  • a disadvantage here is the segmentation to be considered, which entails a complicated production and a complicated operation. This is particularly because an adjustment of the foremost connection is too imprecise due to the only adjustable in steps between the first and second splash guard, if the exact location of the rearmost end of the second splash guard to be adapted to local conditions of a two-wheeler.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is the provision of a Radtenters of the type mentioned, in which a relatively accurate positioning of the rear end of the Radtenters is easier to implement.
  • the second splash guard only an adjustment of the direction in which the second splash guard wegerstreckt in the connected state of the first splash guard, has, this adjustment is realized by the connecting means in the installation position front portion of the second splash guard.
  • the second splash guard is preferably not segmented and in particular has only one, over the entire length of the splash guard extending splash guard portion, which may be, for example, toroidal.
  • the rear end of a non-segmented splash guard can be positioned more easily.
  • the connecting means are designed such that the direction in which the second splash guard extends away in the connected state of the first splash guard part, is infinitely adjustable. In this way, the angle which the second splashguard part in the mounted state encloses in the region of the connecting means with the horizontal direction, can be changed continuously, so that also the exact position of the rear end of the second splashguard can be adjusted comparatively accurately.
  • the stepless adjustability can contribute to the fact that can be dispensed with the segmentation of the second splash guard. It may therefore have a over the entire length of the splash guard extending splash guard portion, which may be, for example, toroidal.
  • the second splash guard part has a length of more than 10 cm, in particular a length of more than 20 cm, for example, a length of about 30 cm. Despite this length, the rear end of the second splash guard can be positioned in the vertical direction precisely in the vertical direction by adjusting the arranged, for example, at the front end of the second splash guard.
  • the two splashguard parts are directly connected to one another or that the wheelguard comprises at least one intermediate piece which is connected to the first and the second splashguard part.
  • connection is a non-positive connection or comprises a non-positive connection.
  • the non-positive connection allows a continuous adjustment.
  • the connecting means comprise at least two connecting parts which can be pressed against one another in order to realize the connection or to contribute to the connection, in particular wherein the at least two connecting parts at least partially made of a, preferably glass fibers, reinforced plastic or metal, preferably made of aluminum, or comprise a, preferably with glass fibers, reinforced plastic or metal, preferably aluminum.
  • the at least two connecting parts in the connected state in the transverse direction of the wheel guard can be pressed against each other, wherein the pressed together surfaces of the connecting parts are in particular unstructured. The unstructured surfaces can be rotated by any angle or fraction of angles against each other and pressed together again.
  • the connecting means comprise at least one sleeve through which a screw may extend, wherein in particular the at least one sleeve at least partially consists of a, preferably glass fibers, reinforced plastic or metal, preferably aluminum, or preferably comprising glass fibers, reinforced plastic or metal, preferably aluminum.
  • the at least one sleeve may be one of the connecting parts, or each of the connecting parts may be formed as a sleeve.
  • At least one screw in the connected state by a transverse in the transverse direction of the wheel guard outside connecting part preferably as a sleeve is formed, in a transversely disposed in the transverse direction of the Radverseers connecting part, which is preferably designed as a sleeve, in particular as a threaded sleeve, protrudes.
  • At least one of the connecting parts preferably at least one of the sleeves is arranged on the second splash guard, in particular that two connecting parts, preferably two sleeves are arranged on the second splash guard.
  • At least one of the connecting parts preferably at least one of the sleeves is arranged on the first splash guard or on the intermediate piece, in particular that two connecting parts, preferably two sleeves are arranged on the first splash guard or on the intermediate piece.
  • the at least two connecting parts are introduced into at least one receptacle on the second splash guard or at least one receptacle on the first splash guard or on the intermediate piece, in particular, the connecting parts outer structuring such as a hexagonal shape, to rotate in the recordings to prevent. In this way, the manufacture of the Radkarers can be simplified.
  • Fig. 25 a Fig. 24 corresponding side view of the arrangement in a second position of the rear splash guard.
  • the same or functionally identical parts are given the same reference numerals.
  • the illustrated first embodiment of a wheel guard 1 comprises a first, in the assembled state front splash guard 2 and a second, in the assembled state rear splash guard 3.

  • the first splash guard 2 has a front toroidal portion 4 and a rear U-shaped portion 5.
  • the U-shaped section 5 it is possible to form the U-shaped section 5 separately from the front toroidal section 4, so that the U-shaped section 5 serves as an intermediate piece, which is connected to the first and the second splashguard part 2, 3.
  • the rear U-shaped portion 5 of the first splash guard 2 has a front U-leg 6, a bottom 7 and a rear U-leg 8.
  • four slots 9 are provided, which are part of the attachment means described in more detail below.
  • the U-legs 6, 8, which are largely vertical when installed, can be moved between a fork bridge and a fork crown in a manner known per se during the compression of the front fork.
  • a hollow cylindrical receptacle 10 is arranged, in which in the assembled state of the device, a first connection part 11 receives.
  • the cylinder axis of the hollow cylindrical receptacle extends in the transverse direction of the wheel guard (see the arrow 12 in FIG Fig. 4 ) and located in the transverse direction 12 in a central region (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 ).
  • the inside of the receptacle 10 is provided with a hexagon socket structure, wherein at the same time the outside of the first connecting part 11 is provided with an external hexagonal structure 13. As a result, a rotation of the first connecting part 11 in the receptacle 10 is prevented.
  • first connection part 11 into the splashguard part 2 during the manufacture of the first splashguard part 2 as part of a plastic injection process.
  • the first connecting part 11 is formed as a metallic sleeve and is preferably made of aluminum. Alternatively, there is the possibility that the first connecting part 11 or the sleeve consists of a plastic reinforced with glass fibers.
  • the Sleeve is open at both ends and has at least one internal thread, so that from both sides a screw 14, 15 can be screwed into the first connection part 11. The end faces of the first connecting part 11 are unstructured.
  • the second splash guard part 3 is slightly torus-shaped as a whole and elongated. It has in its longitudinal direction (see the arrow 16 in Fig. 4 ) or in the mounted state in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle a length of more than 10 cm, in particular a length of more than 20 cm, for example, a length of about 30 cm.
  • the second splash guard part 3 has on its front side above two hollow cylindrical receptacles 17, 18, which receive two second connecting parts 19, 20 in the assembled state of the device.
  • the cylinder axes of the hollow cylindrical receptacles 17, 18 extend in the transverse direction 12 of the wheel guard (see Fig. 4 ) and are each in an outer region with respect to the transverse direction 12 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 ).
  • the inner sides of the receptacles 17, 18 are provided with a hexagon socket structure, wherein at the same time the outer sides of the second connecting parts 19, 20 are provided with an external hexagonal structure 21, 22. As a result, a rotation of the second connecting parts 19, 20 in the receptacles 17, 18 is prevented.
  • the second connecting parts 19, 20 are also each formed as a metallic sleeve and are preferably made of aluminum. Alternatively, there is the possibility that the second Connecting parts 19, 20 or the sleeves made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic.
  • the sleeves are open at both end faces, so that in each case a screw 14, 15 can be screwed through the two second connecting parts 19, 20 into the first connecting part 11.
  • the in the assembled state the first connecting part 11 facing end sides of the second connecting parts 19, 20 are unstructured.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the two second connecting parts 19, 20 are arranged in the transverse direction 12 so far outside that they can receive the first connecting part 11 in the assembled state of the wheel guard 1 between them.
  • the two second connecting parts 19, 20 are pressed in the transverse direction 12 from the outside against the two end faces of the first connecting part 11.
  • the second splash guard part 3 is fixed to the first splash guard part 2.
  • the second splash guard part 3 can be pivoted relative to the first splash guard part 2. Due to the unstructured surfaces of the mutually facing end faces of the first and second connecting parts 11, 19, 20, this pivoting can take place continuously. As a result, the rear end of the comparatively long second splash guard part 3 can be raised and lowered continuously.
  • Fig. 9 shows a position in which the longitudinal direction 16 of the second splash guard 3 includes a relatively small angle ⁇ with the horizontal in the mounted state on the bicycle.
  • Fig. 10 shows a contrast greatly pivoted position of the second splash guard 3, wherein the longitudinal direction 16 of the second Splash guard part 3 encloses a relatively large angle ⁇ with the horizontal in the state mounted on the two-wheeler.
  • stepless change of the angle ⁇ helps to adapt the geometry of the wheel protector to the geometry of the bicycle, in particular to the shape and position of the fork bridges of a bicycle with a spring-loaded front fork.
  • the stepless adjustment allows the optimal positioning of the rear splash guard 3 between the front tire and the down tube of the bicycle.
  • connecting parts 11, 19, 20 in a different manner to the splashguard parts 2, 3.
  • a connecting part 11 can be arranged centrally on the second splash guard part 3 in the transverse direction 12 and two connecting parts 19, 20 can be arranged on the outside of the first splash guard part 2.
  • Other distributions of at least two connecting parts are possible.
  • the wheel guard 1 further comprises a U-shaped insert 24, which can be inserted into the U-shaped portion 5 of the front splash guard 2 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 ).
  • the insert 24 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. Due to the elasticity of the material vibrations can be damped.
  • two elastic bands 25, 26 are arranged, which are part of the attachment means for the attachment of the wheel guard 1 on the bicycle.
  • the bands 25, 26 are guided through the slots 9 and stretched over the fork crown 27 away (see Fig. 1 . Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 ).
  • the bands 25, 26 are attached to the projections 23 and optionally guided for optical reasons by the arranged behind the projections 23 openings 28 to the bottom of the rear splash guard 3 (see Fig. 8 ).
  • the elastic bands 25, 26 are in this way at the top of the fork crown 27, whereas the base of the insert 24 abuts against the underside of the fork crown 27. In this way, a low-vibration attachment of the wheel guard 1 is ensured on the front fork.
  • the insert 24 thus prevents the formation of rattling noises and can also avoid paint damage to the frame of the bicycle.
  • Fig. 5 to Fig. 10 is a so-called upside-down suspension fork pictured, which has no fork bridge.
  • Fig. 11 a spring-loaded front fork is shown, which has a front fork bridge 39.
  • Fig. 12 can be seen from a spring-loaded front fork, which has a rear fork bridge 40.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 a spring-loaded front fork is shown, which has both a front, and a rear fork bridge 39, 40.
  • Fig. 14 illustrates that even in a sprung position of the front fork, the two splash guard parts 2, 3 not with collide with the fork bridges 39, 40.
  • a correspondingly sufficient distance from the fork bridges 39, 40 is ensured by the U-shaped portion 5 of the first splash guard 2, because the first splash guard 2 from the top of the front U-leg 6 forward and the second splash guard 3 from the top of the rear U-leg 8 extends to the rear.
  • Fig. 15 and Fig. 16 clarify for two different frames of a bicycle that a wheel guard 1 according to the invention can certainly be adapted to different frame geometries.
  • the in Fig. 15 The illustrated frame has a relatively flat rearwardly and downwardly extending down tube 41. Due to the resulting large gap 42 between the down tube 41 and the tire 43 at the rear end of the second splash guard 3, the second splash guard 3 can protrude at a relatively small angle to the horizontal of the front fork.
  • the in Fig. 16 The frame shown has a relatively steep rearwardly and downwardly extending down tube 41. To optimally utilize the resulting small gap 42 between the down tube 41 and the tire 43, the connecting means can be adjusted so that the rear splash guard 3 protrudes from the front fork at a relatively large angle to the horizontal.
  • Illustrated second embodiment of the wheel guard 1 differs from the first embodiment substantially by the manner of attachment to the bicycle.
  • the first embodiment is attached with flexible, the fork crown spanning ribbons, whereas the second embodiment in on known way (see EP 1 435 323 A2 )
  • two interlocking expansion elements 30, 31 are provided which have conical surfaces on the inside, which cause a spreading apart when the expansion elements 30, 31 are pressed into one another.
  • the expansion elements 30, 31 are thereby compressed by a screw 32 and a nut 33, wherein the head of the screw 15 can abut against a stop which is formed on a connectable to the first splash guard part 2 sliding part 34.
  • An unlocking member 35 has an operation knob 36 for releasing the sliding member 34 from the first splash guard member 2.
  • the first splashguard part 2 likewise has a front donut-shaped section 4, as in the first embodiment.
  • the first splash guard 2 of the second embodiment comprises only an L-shaped portion 37.
  • projections 38 for receiving the sliding part 34 are provided (see Fig. 17 ).
  • the receptacle 10 for the first connection part 11 is arranged at the rear end of the L-shaped portion 37 and thus lower than in the U-shaped portion 5 of the first embodiment.
  • the L-shaped portion 37 it is possible to form the L-shaped portion 37 separately from the front toroidal portion 4, so that the L-shaped portion 37 serves as an intermediate piece, which is connected to the first and the second splash guard 2, 3.
  • the second splash guard part 3 is the same as in the second embodiment in the first embodiment. It exists however, the possibility to omit the projections 23 and the openings 28 because no elastic bands are used.
  • FIGS. 24 and 25 make it clear that even in the second embodiment of the wheel guard 1, the rear end of the comparatively long second splash guard part 3 can be raised and lowered continuously.
  • Fig. 24 shows a position in which the longitudinal direction 16 of the second splash guard 3 includes a relatively small angle ⁇ with the horizontal in the mounted state on the bicycle.
  • Fig. 25 shows a contrast greatly swung position of the second splash guard 3, wherein the longitudinal direction 16 of the second splash guard 3 includes a relatively large angle ⁇ with the horizontal in the mounted state on the bicycle.
  • the second embodiment can be adjusted by the possibility of stepless change in the angle ⁇ , the geometry of the Radverseers to the geometry of the bicycle, in particular to the shape and position of the fork bridges of a bicycle with a deflecting front fork.
  • the stepless adjustment allows the optimal positioning of the rear splash guard 3 between the front tire and the down tube of the bicycle.
